Please help me figure out if my power supply and MB are compatible
Last response: in Motherboards
I decided to upgrade my Dell Studio 540s to make it a gaming PC.
I bought Antec Nine Hundred 2 to fit my monster EVGA 260 GTX nVidia GeForce card.
Also I about Thermaltake, Black Widow, PS (850W) to feed the system.
For some reason, my new PS (Thermaltake) couldn't turn my MB up. The CPUs fan runs smoothly, which means there is power going into the MB. As usual, I troubleshooted the problem .. and here are the results:
I used dell's power supply to feed the system and the computer turned ON and worked smoothly with no problems. I switched to the TT PS and fans working, but the hard disk, and the graphics card aren't working.
I used Dell's PS to run the computer, and TT to supply power to my graphics card. The whole computer is running, and the graphics card is powered up but no picture on my screen.
I am not sure if TT PS's 24-bin connector is defected .. I am just assuming based on my troubleshooting.
Maybe the power supply isn't compatible?!

^Huh?! It's a typical semi modular ATX PSU http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1264&ID=18...
edit: I don't like PSUs that don't spec their capacitor type or rail numbers, etc.

This is but one example, there have been others over the years

Reminds me of the last debate we had over Corsair using 5 year old links. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer) AT vs ATX
Duh - Huh?! The Yellow box referred to bad batches of PSUs. BTW - ALSO confirming my prior argument(s) with you that Antec is a POS PSU!
